Title: PROPOSAL.....
Post by: GrayBeard on July 10, 2010, 10:12:15 pm
I would like to start a "Bucket List" for all the members to participate in!!!

Everybody remembers the movie, right? Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman...

Anyway a "Bucket List" is a listing of the things you absolutely, totally want to do before you go to that Great Scroll Saw Shop in the Universe, or wherever the heck it is....

Think hard and long because I think we should limit it to ONE item per member to keep it fresh and interesting. And if you post, POST your own item, don't just say, "Yea, I want to do that too!"

Think of the ONE thing you just fervently hope you get to do before you pass on and then post it here.

As soon as someone starts us off i will add "Bucket List" to the title of the Thread or they can do it...whoever goes first, and it will not be me.

If most of you are game this could be very interesting.....

Let's see what kind of interesting items we come up with.

Everybody in?

No Restrictions other than "Family Friendly" and no worse than <PG-13>!

Drive an exotic "Super Car" at over 150 mph on public roads, with no traffic though.

Stand at 2nd Base in Wrigley Field, where Ryne Sandberg played when I was a kid, and take a cup of dirt and some Ivy leaves from the outfield.

...and my Dad and I would like to see the Chicago Cubs win a World Series... :o

Interesting...

of the first 5 'wishes' posted I have done 3 of them.
Seen Ruby Falls, Been in a Hot Air Balloon (FANTASTIC), and drove a 63 Corvette to 120 on a three mile stretch of seldom used roadway (sorry couldn't get it any higher).
Cherie...Carlsbad Caverns is much more impressive, especially at sundown when all the bats leave the cave to go out for dinner!
Dan...I'm a lifetime Cardinal fan but I still like to go to Wrigley for a ballgame! (and wear my Cardinal jersey!)

Guess I've been lucky to get around and about!

I guess mine is a little different. I would like to see an Iceberg in Alaska, and possibly walk on it.

Jimbo...that is one of the reasons we are taking a trip later this month to visit family in Oklahoma!

All the cousins are getting together 'cause the ages are really getting up there and we want to be together before we start going to funerals.
Morbid I know but we are facing the facts that the oldest of us is now 84!

I want to host the "Tonight Show" for one week. I want to pick the guest's and have some controll over the questions I ask and the music played. I doubt that Jay Leno is going to let that happen soon.  ;D

I'd never skinny dip in a lake.  I'd be afraid of creatures.  I'm freaked out by water and things lurking in it.  More so saltwater though.
